The Caesar Salad: Hotel Caesar, Tijuana, Mexico

 Located in the heart of La Revo, the Hotel Caesar was once Tijuana's finest hotel. In 1924, according to culinary folklore, Italian immigrant chef Caesar Cardini created the Caesar salad in the hotel's dining room using romaine lettuce, cheese and a dressing made from eggs, salt, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, olive oil, salt and pepper. Although Cardini later moved back to the United States, the Hotel Caesar still serves the salad in its dining room.
